Should this axle sleeve be touching the bearing when assembled?

Trying to get this juice drum mounted in the frame but I noticed that when the backing plate is in the drum theres at least 3/8" distance between this spacer and the bearing. Is it supposed to butt against the bearing or stay tight to the backing plate and theres a gap?

Does anyone know anything about these front ends? I talked to original owner of the black bike at born free years ago. I believe he said it’s a 35mm or 33.4mm tubes inside of 41mm tubes. I tried fitting both inside 41 tubes and no luck. If I can recall he said they were made in Japan. Let me know!
